again as i said and repeated myself so often, it all matters if gachas are based on an equal base of luck or are literally based on droprates. one should still be ok, the other one should be gone.

i said that related to the gacha fatpacks. some people used gachas just for fun as they "strolled by" and just took a draw/spin at them and "took what they got". If they would now have the choice of either buying overpriced FATPACKS or nothing, guess what most will go for now...

"lose some"? people which might wanted to play 100L$ for fun for a random spin for a random avatar have now to pay for something they dont want. nice.

oh no OHHH NOOO TETRIS WILL BE NEXT NOOOOO X´D

i mean it could be another game where the chances to win a prices are at least "ok" but what price is kinda random i guess. I mean spin the wheel was only the first i had in mind since i somehow got wheel of fortune in mind XD

but what "if" you turn gachas into "prices" you win if you pay for a round of a game like "spin the wheel" as sample? I mean its basicly gambling but...you win something...right?

gachas are mostly luck based or droprate based. i doubt there will be a case gachas can be turned or called "skill based"...

im sorry but everyone knows that they are toys inside. those toys are even (at least here in germany)special packed in yellow plastic within the choco egg. that the toy inside is "that small" should be common sense and knowledge at this point. Srsly, its like the people which complain about that they burned their hand by touching the HOT COFFEE MUG (or better, if they try to drink said coffee and burn their lips) they just orderd at Burger King. What did they THINK they get IF they LITERALLY ORDERD "HOT COFFEE IN A MUG"? COLD ICE TEA? People sometimes...

i think the more i talk and see and look into the topic - and actually think about how losely this rule is - its getting out of hand. it should really be explained what "counts" as gacha in LLs standart now since i already read some things where it could count as gacha but "isnt one": - breedables (some at least) - collecting-/trading cards - black/blind box sales - fishing games So yea...i think, as i said already, LL should make the rule WAY more specific. As i said already there:

ok so they get banned for this stupid reason but not like for gambling? X´D jesus, US rules sometimes...

I saw such events mostly in clubs for escorts like: they were x boxes which had a colord item inside. costumers buy them for X price to get the colord item but they DONT KNOW which the color will be they end up with (aka they will get an random color). each color in the boxes will be in there only ONES - so to go with a simple sample: they are 3 boxes. one box will contain a red item, another a blue and the last a yellow item BUT you dont know which color will be inside so you end up buying one and end up with one random. after those boxes are sold, there will be a second pair of the same amount of boxes which will have the same colors as well (to go with the sample: another pair of 3 boxes with the same colors, random). those boxes will be taken by the escorts and they will end up with their own random color. at the end the costumer will have "his time" with the escort which pairs up with the same color if that explains the event well. so the costumers will pay for a random color and so the escorts will end with a random one as well.

wait what? for real? they are?

you do know they are collectors and cataloges for "how much is this toy worth" things, right? No im srs, they are a lot collectors over here and cataloges for such little egg toys, its like collecting stamps.

i actually got another legit question in mind: how does that effect black/ blind box sales (i hope people know such things) since youre basicly paying for something you see but it will still be random. does those count as gachas as well now?

and thats what i tried to say, SL is just to big to know "all things". My breedables i know were the "Fennux" which... - can life without food endlessly - WILL be sick if you dont feed them (and way less active) - CANT BREED if they are sick - Can ONLY BREED in the first view days of their lifecycle IF they are NOT SICK - can be turned into pets if you dont wanna breed/feed them for an extra price Again try to check them out, they are called "Fennux". were kinda fun as they were new tbh (and kinda cute).

No becourse i linked you ONE breedable which needs the food NOT to stay alive BUT to BREED and to BREED only. If you dont feed them they will be "sick" and not able to breed and since they get old they can only breed a "limited time" of their ageing - like i said, i guess it was just the first 50 days of their lifetime. So if you only go for the breedables YOU KNOW (which i dont know you are talking about, maybe some i dont know) than ok, YOUR THING but SL is BIG and as seen in this thread, a lot people dont see the problems this gacha rule will create since some people just doesnt know what will count as gacha or what not - like said breedables, 7seas fishing game (as one other sample) or simple collecting cards.

so making money is different than using money for a living? logic please?

AND AGAIN srsly where is the sense of "breedables" if you dont breed them? Its literally IN THE NAME.

STOP. hold it. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/products/search?utf8=✓&search[category_id]=&search[maturity_level]=GMA&search[keywords]=fennux there. have fun. In other words: if those dont eat, they dont breed. and they are only able to breed in the first 50 days (or they might changed the limit, duno, didnt used them for a long time now) but if they dont eat in this time, they will never be able to breed. ever.

well what you said could be technically said by every creator which runs a gacha. no im srs here, think about that.

legit question: are "Kinder surprise eggs" (you know this little candy eggs for children ) are a thing at your place? If not, oh boi.

again: The breedable NEEDS the food to be ABLE to breed (aka "getting in the mood", they will die without it or similar, a lot breedables have that). So yes, technically you do pay for it to be ABLE to breed coz else a breedable might die or cant breed at all.

im sorry to tell you but i think this thinking is very very naive. As i said, think about card games in real life. A booster pack is maybe 12-20 bucks and you get some random cards but if you go and wanna buy a "specific card" guess how much you have to pay for. If its a rare card, you can guess how much already.

hold it. A lot breedables need actually "Food" items so that they are stable/albe to breed. So, technically, you DO pay for that.

ah ah ah but you dont know what you will get when you breed them. see.
